+199 The Republicans aren't pro-life, just anti-abortion. Why? They are pro-death penalty, anti-gay rights, pro-gun, pro-war, anti-Muslim, anti-healthcare for citizens, anti-primary education, and anti-low/middle class. Does pro-life not mean that all life is sacred? The Republicans only care about the child being born, and after that, they could care less, amirite?

How can you say that when our government is trillions and trillions of dollars in debt? The middle class are obviously poorer than the rich, so clearly, the former will suffer more in comparison than the latter. The US has to switch back to a progressive tax system. The government's deficit and our social issues can't be ignored because they're so rich they can be practically unaffected by what's going on. I understand the mentality that hard work gets you to where you are, and you shouldn't be penalized for that, but I feel like right now, the Republicans can't be so unwilling to compromise when the US so desperately needs the funding. Mind you, I'm not saying I expect an increase in taxes to fix all our problems.

That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income " "To understand why, you need to examine the sources of government revenue. Last year about 80 percent of these revenues came from personal income taxes and payroll taxes. The mega-rich pay income taxes at a rate of 15 percent on most of their earnings but pay practically nothing in payroll taxes. It’s a different story for the middle class: typically, they fall into the 15 percent and 25 percent income tax brackets, and then are hit with heavy payroll taxes to boot."

I just graduated and as in an advanced Econ. class. I know what economics SHOULD be just like what communism SHOULD be (Idk why that was brought up either, but I'll use it as an example). Communism SHOULD be where everything is equal in a community such as incentives and rewards as well as only taking necessities . However, scarcity screws it up and it only works on paper. Capitalism SHOULD be everyone going in their own self interest and gaining exactly what they want. However, greed screws up that system, and it doesn't work that way. That's what I was saying. Everyone goes in their own direction, creating person and private markets, but once you're born, self interest is the only thing that matters.

Hello, OP. I, too, am a Democrat, and a VERY LIBERAL one, so I do somewhat agree with your post. The problem is that it generalizes too much, and it has flaws in its logic. As many people have stated above, you can't state these things as though they're black and white. Not all Republicans are these things. And many Democrats are! What about Democrats from Catholic districts who are anti-gay marriage and anti-abortion, or ones from rural districts that are pro-guns, or the ones (and there are many!) who supported the War on Terror? Anti-muslim is a little silly. I know the Ground Zero Mosque thing was a hot topic, but I don't think it justifies that statement. Republicans who don't agree with your post will take offense to this, but I think they have to understand that these characteristics represent the radicals, who are the ones IN OFFICE and RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. So maybe you don't support these generalizations, but when you vote for the radicals, this is what get.

Not all members of a political party have the same views. Most Republicans are pro-life as long as it doesn't involve rape or the mother's health isn't at risk. Many are pro-death penalty because it puts people's minds at ease to see a murderer die. Though many of them are anti-gay rights, quite a few are starting to realize that gay people getting married doesn't hurt anyone so they hold the stance "I won't marry someone of the same sex, but I won't stop anyone else from doing it." I have never met someone who is pro-gun; I think you mean pro-self defense. Guns do not kill, the person pulling the trigger kills. I have a gun rack loaded with rifles and not a single one of them has killed. No one is pro-war. People can be for defending their nation, but I bet you can't find one sane person who thinks war is the solution to everything. Not all Republicans are anti-Muslim. The whole mosque thing was about respect. Though I disagreed with keeping them from building it, I understand why---

--- some people would not be okay with it. I don't think very many people are anti-healthcare. Maybe you mean anti-universal healthcare. I can understand why people would be against it, but when you look at nations that have it you can see that it really is better in the long run. Anti-primary education? I think you might be referring into the few Republicans who wanted to cut pell grants and teacher salaries. Sadly, that is a necessary evil that has to be done. Republicans are not anti-low/ middle class, they are anti-taxing rich people more to "punish" them for making more money. I can see why they believe that, but just like education cuts, higher taxes on the rich are a necessary evil. So yeah, why are you generalizing all the people of a political party? Most people who identify as Republican or Democrat are actually more moderate than anything else. They just pick a party to make voting easier.

Although everyone interpreted it as that I think all their beliefs are bogus, I don't. There is not always something wrong with the death penalty, war is sometimes justified, I merely meant to say that their beliefs and pro-life do not match up. Pro-life would say death penalty is always bad, war is always bad, and treat everyone with respect and equality, which the Republicans don't do

You're still generalizing. Republicans aren't bad people. They don't all fit this little formula you have set up for them. Words like pro-life and pro-choice refer ONLY to abortion. You are not treating Republicans with respect. I get that you probably just wanted to sound smart and made a post of something you heard on tv, but try understanding something before you post about it.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

This is original, I didn't hear it anywhere Pro-choice and pro-life can be applied to SO much more than just abortion, they can be applied to a way of life

by Anonymous 13 years ago

From a political standpoint they only refer to abortion. I could say that Democrats aren't truly pro-choice because they don't want people to make the choice to own guns or opt out of universal healthcare, but that would be absurd. You still haven't addressed the fact that you're stereotyping. Believe me, not all Republicans believe in every little thing on the right end of the political spectrum.

Nevermind no one has to take the government healthcare, they just need to get some healthcare I did intend to only mean the extremists and radicals, but as it has been said before in these comments: The moderate Republicans is a dying breed

wow way to make a gross generalization. i guess you're too narrow-minded to realize this, but not all Republicans feel exactly the way you describe them.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Okay, first off, it's COULDN'T care less. Second only a few of those actually have to do with life. Anti-gay rights isn't killing anyone, except extremists, but there are extremist democrats too and education has nothign to do with whether you live or die. Third, this is a generalization and you're just being narrow minded. We're all anti-muslim? Really? Now you're saying we have to be racist to be Republicans? I'm a Republican, I'm pro-life and guess what? I'm against war and the death penalty. Way to be an open minded and caring Democrat anonymous. you're talking so much crap about Republicans, but you can't generalize, you can't put in things that have nothing to do with the opening topic in the post, you can't accuse all republicans of being racist and you can't just act like everyone who doesn't agree with you is an ignorant hypocrite. Yes, there are hypocrites in the party, yes the term is used by people who are for the death penalty and such, but you're no better.

Now if you had actually read any of the comments before posting the exact same thing as many before you, you will realize that I commented on this and that I meant it to be towards extremists rather than moderates, and has it has been said, the moderate Republican is a dying breed

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Are you nuts? NO Republican I know is this extreme. NONE of them. I know other people said the same thing, but I just had to say something.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Are you nuts? There are many that are this extreme. The Tea Party? Extremist Squared. They are they people to whom this post was mostly mentioning, and the moderate Republicans are being exiled for not going strict party line.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If it's about radicals, say that, not just Republicans. God, basic exercise in logic and people STILL get it wrong.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The moderate Republican is a dying breed. If anybody is a free thinker and says something that is against party lines, they are bastardized and ousted by the party.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Um.. no they're not. It's not an official group, it's one of those, if you want to be in, you're in, things. There's nto way to get kicked out. All but one of the Republicans I know is moderate, and I know plenty Republicans. If you're definition of extreme republicans are people who are pro-life, don't support gay marraige, are pro-gun control, are against the mosque, NOT because they are racist, and health care reform but are for compromises on most of those things and are calm and reasonable is their reasons for these and can deal with issues without shoving things down people's throats, then I wouldn't consider them "extremists". I would consider extremists people who are violent, irrational, constantly angry whenever someone disagrees with them and doesn't even try to understand the other person's point of view. None of the Republicans I know are like that.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

None of them you know are, yeah, but the ones in power and in office are. The Tea Party yells that the left isn't reaching across the isle and then they brag about how obstructionist they're going to be. Hypocrisy, anyone?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Like you're being any less hypocritical. The only reason you think the only ones in power are nuts is because those are the only ones anyone makes a big deal about. People love hearing about how crappy other people are. You can't just say that all Republicans in power are extremist Tea Partiers.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Most of them are or vote that way for fear of being bastardized. After the mid-term elections, the Republican leaders stated that their number one goal was "to make Obama a one term president." They Republican party is completely full of nothing but assholes if that is their number one goal. The number one goal should be to end partisanship and get this country back in the right direction, not to be the biggest asshole you can possibly be, which is what the Republicans are doing.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Let me make this clear: No one is afraid of being bastardized. the votes are kind of anonymous. It's their number one goal to not have Obama in again because he disagress with their policies so much they can hardly get anything they want to happen happen without him gone. It makes sense that they'd have that as a goal. And in case you haven't noticed, your generalizing about political parties, assuming most people of a party are extremist and that everyone in that party is ignorant and only votes this way not because they have free thought but because either they are extremist jerks or are afraid of their peers is partisanship. If you wanted to end partisanship so badly, you would stop saying crap like that. Do you realize that while you've been saying how hypocritical Republicans are, you've been acting that way too?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

For the common man, yes, votes are hidden, but for the people in Congress, the votes are documented and publicly announced. To say that the number one goal is something other than working together to end partisan politics and make this country a better is them being complete assholes. Working together to make this country better is much more important than what each party wants individually. At least that is what I think, the Republicans don't, that's clear. Yes, I want partisanship to end? Will it? Not with the Republicans being assholes like they are it won't.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'd like to point out once again that you are blaming this all on Republicans, thus reinforcing partisanship. Also, they didn' say they wanted to get rid of Democrats, just Obama. There's a difference between one man and an entire group of people. Again, you're generalizing by saying wanting to get rid of Obama and wanting to get rid fo Democrats are the same thing. Generalizing like this is partisanship. Have you ever heard thee phrase "the pot calling the kettle black"?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Did I ever anywhere say that they Democrats were angelic saints? No. Are they better (in terms of lack of hypocrisy and willingness to compromise) than the Republicans? Yes.

I'm a Republican and I'm pro-life because I think life starts at conception and I do think abortion is murder. I can never decide whether or not the death penalty is justifiable. I think that homosexuality is a sin and I'm not going to stand up for it. I think that no matter what the law is, dangerous people will find away to have firearms, and guns provide protection for everyone else. I respect the fact that we are trying to help those who need it in other parts of the world, but I will never say that war is a good thing. I'm not anti-Mustim. I think that people in America are becoming lazy and think that they deserve everything without working for it, including healthcare. This doesn't apply to everyone, of course, but it's definitely encouraging a huge problem in our society. I'm not anti-primary education, and I don't know of anybody who is. I'm middle class. Do you have any idea what you are talking about?

actually It's people that don't even try to work and just sit down and smoke pot all day , then beg for welfare and say it's our duty to share our wealth. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WE DON'T CARE ABOUT! hell yes I'm pro gun, pro war, anti muslim, anti gay marriage.
